Amidst all the festivities of the last few weeks it was nice to see my name and this blog included in a list for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award over on Sensitive and Extraordinary Kids. A huge thank you to Leila who herself is a huge inspiration to many parents of highly sensitive children. We connected almost a year ago through a post I write on my Expat Life with a Double Buggy blog about understanding highly sensitive children. She is also the author of Thank Goodness for Different which I recently reviewed.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to bump into people in the blogging world who have an impact on you. Leila is one such person. She writes from the heart, and she tells life as a mother with a highly sensitive child as it is. I love reading blog posts that make me think, “Those could have been words out of my own mouth.” Or even better, “I wish I had written that.”

This Happy Sensitive Kids blog is still very much in its baby stage so I am truly delighted to have such a nice nod of appreciation. And so without further ado the award rules:

So, here are seven random as random can be things about me:

I have a very fine sense of smell. Just like my father.

I want to visit Venice but I’m told it can be a bit smelly (see point 1). Despite that it’s still on my list.

I have a Bachelors Degree in European Studies and a PostGrad Diploma in Human Resources.
